Sanguisfrigidus: The Ice-Cold Blood Manipulator
Origin:
Sanguisfrigidus emerged not from the fires of Hell, but from the glacial heart of a forgotten, primordial abyss. Born from the congealed blood of a slain Elder God, it possessed an inherent connection to both the life force and the chilling power of absolute stillness. This abyss, a realm of perpetual twilight and frozen nightmares, served as its birthplace and a reservoir of its power.
Bloodline:
While technically not possessing a traditional demonic lineage, Sanguisfrigidus is considered a primordial entity, existing outside the usual hierarchies of Hell. It is a unique creation, a being of pure, corrupted essence, born from the death of a being far older and more powerful than itself. Its power is not inherited but intrinsic, born from the very fabric of its creation.
Authority/Domain:
Sanguisfrigidus holds dominion over the manipulation of blood, both living and dead. It can freeze blood, accelerating the process of coagulation to crippling effect, or liquefy it, causing catastrophic internal hemorrhaging. It commands the subtle currents of lifeblood, using them to both inflict pain and subtly control the minds of its victims through the manipulation of their circulatory systems.
Abilities:
- Hemostatic Control: The ability to instantaneously freeze or liquefy blood.
- Sanguine Telekinesis: Manipulating blood to create projectiles, constricting limbs, or even forming temporary weapons.
- Hemalurgy: Absorbing life force from blood to enhance its own power or weaken its opponents.
- Blood-Mind Control: Influencing the thoughts and actions of beings through the manipulation of their bloodstreams.
- Cryokinesis (limited): A secondary ability stemming from its origin, manifesting as localized bursts of intense cold around its manipulations of blood.
Notable Events:
- The Great Frostbite: Sanguisfrigidus’s first recorded appearance involved the near-total freezing of a vast, sprawling kingdom, achieved by manipulating the blood of its inhabitants and the very water sources that sustained it.
- The Crimson Tide: Sanguisfrigidus unleashed a wave of sentient, blood-formed creatures upon a warring army, turning the battlefield into a river of carnage.
- The Blood Covenant: In a rare display of manipulation, Sanguisfrigidus forced a powerful sorcerer to forge a pact, granting it a degree of influence over the flow of magic itself, enhancing its abilities further.
